Alienware r3 17 fan

I recently received my refurbished r3 17 and have a question about the fan. Where should I be noticing air coming out. I thought before I purchased the computer that air would be coming out on the bottom of the computer, but it seems to only be coming out on the left hand side at the end underneath the monitor.  It seems that the fan on the right hand side that I thought would be there is not ventilating air. Is this the way it should be or is my right hand side fan dysfunctional. Can someone explain to me where I should be noticing air coming out of the computer while gaming if the computer is fully functional. Can someone also tell me the healthy frequency the processor should be running at. I am getting throttled playing CSGO and the processor sometimes starts to run at 0.76ghz when it gets too hot. When the processor isn't to hot it runs at around 3.3 ghz. I have the i7-6820hz and 980m. Is my computer running properly. Also do I need a cooling pad?
